Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

College was bullshit then and it is bullshit now. It has only become more obvious that non-STEM degrees are worthless. And I am starting to think the conspiracy nuts are right when they suggest that the push for more useless college correlates to critical race theory being adopted by agenda-driven institutions.

What sucks is even if you're doing a stem degree, a lot of colleges require a mandatory diversity elective which is basically a class or two of indoctrination bullshit. That's easy to dismiss as bullshit though and just work through to pass that class.

I'm trying to powerlevel too hard, but even with software, I'm not sure college is even worth it any more. I mean, there are so many certifications (including Microsoft and CompTIA), and there is so much bullshit filler courses, that I don't think it's worth the $140K in debt. Then even when you graduate, you get the "entry level with 3-5 years experience required" memes anyway. Not having a college degree will DQ you from some jobs absolutely, but I feel like you could live much better trying to get one of those shitty exploitative web development jobs right out of high school that will hire anyone, and then self-teach from there.

I took a couple of required diversity electives in school. The first one wasn't too bad, the professor even said there was no such thing as 'reverse racism', that it was all just racism regardless of who it comes from. The second was pretty much communist indoctrination though and was doing the whole 'race isn't real but it is real because of white people and only secretly racist boomers pretend it isn't real, and 'we' (asians and blacks specifically in that class) need to unite against white society' CRT thing around the time it was starting to break into the popular consciousness. We even had a troon rights presentation featuring a couple of FTMs, strangely couldn't get any MTFs for it, it was basically a trial run of current year. In any case I barely paid attention to any of and had legitimately forgotten to write my final paper and hurriedly vomited buzzwords onto paper for a couple of hours and passed with flying colors.

Which is usually disguised as some other topic. I took a "History of Baseball" elective which was another redux of White Guilt 101.

Well I guess it's a tiny shuffle in the right direction, but who cares what this administration has to say? they're a laughing stock.

Big press X here, no way maintaining all those colleges would cost this much, facilities alone would take more than that, not to mention personnel.
And even if that was the case, it would be meaningless.
In the trillions high tax collection the USA makes, 13 billion is a drop in the bucket, that would mean a ignorable amount of money in a larger budget situation. Think like this, you make about 80K a year, and you have your budget all figured out, would some extra 200 bucks make a major difference on your plans, or even perceive the extra 200?
So if the issue is that you can't keep community college with the trillions dollar budget you have right now, you wouldn't be able to do the same with a couple of billion more, it would just get lost on the numbers.
Also, the college problem people have right now on the USA ain't the community colleges, but the student loans people take to go into over priced private colleges to get degrees they can't get a job over in order to to pay those debts, and according to the most recent numbers on google, the student debt is $1.57 trillion bucks. You could tax the billionaires a 100% of their income and whatever gain their stocks go for, and it wouldn't make a dent on the true problem.

And even if the professor seems fine, you could end up with a TA who's fully drunk the Koolaid. I took a couple Western civ classes for electives, and you were required to also go to an additional hour per week where you'd discuss the topics from that week further in small groups with a TA. Profs were fine, but my TA in one of them (a black guy) was a complete "the US is racist and you're retarded if you don't think so" type. I do remember him getting flustered at one of my fellow students, a typical Southern white guy, for simply disagreeing with that notion and refusing to claim otherwise, like the idea that you could think that the structures of modern society aren't inherently racist was simply impossible. At some point, I got tired of it, so I just moved to a different section with a different TA (I think I claimed it just worked better with my schedule and nobody seemed to care as long as I got my hour in).
Kids need less public schooling, not more. If our system were working, then all the billions of dollars we've thrown down that hole would have some kind of noticeable positive benefit. Instead, kids are doing worse and worse every year. I'm with @Ita Mori: fuck school, fix the roads.

The guy did a drive by on a group of Israeli students and his family is getting paid for his terror attack from the Palestinian martyr fund. If they don't want to lose the house, refuse the money. Meanwhile when Palestinians kill Israeli Americans under a Democrat administration, the US stays silent.

What's with all this sacred right to vote mumbo jumbo? You mean that very same voting process that doesn't check for ID? The very same where people can block observers and count votes for a week? That one?
